On a Summer Night

Book excerpt: Fourteen-year-old Casey is determined to have fun this summer going to camp with his best friend, Ella. His overprotective mother frets that attending this one instead of trans camp like he's always done will cause problems, but Casey has his heart set on going stealth anyway. His mom just might be right. All Ella wants is love for her best friend, and she's determined to set him up with someone, despite Casey's protests that he just wants to have fun, not get involved in a summer romance. But things get complicated when camp bully Ryan focuses his energies on the two friends. At least Casey's cute bunkmate, Gavin, appears interested in getting to know him better, making Casey rethink the whole romance thing. Until he finds out Gavin and Ryan are good friends. Summer camp turns into so much more when Casey has to decide if Gavin is worth pursuing, friend of a bully or not. There's just one more problem: Ryan knows Casey is transgender.
